dc.description.abstract	Background: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a widely utilized laboratory test that helps assess various inflammatory conditions by serving as an indirect measure of the acute-phase response. Typically performed alongside C-reactive protein (CRP) testing, which offers more immediate and sensitive detection of inflammation, ESR is valued for its simplicity and low cost. However, it lacks specificity and can yield inconsistent results, particularly when using modified Westergren techniques such as the ESR fast detector. This study aims to evaluate the correlation and comparison between the ESR fast detector and the traditional ESR reference method in Palestinian patients with inflammatory conditions.
